2020 defending people who were duplicitous. john: crooks and thieves this is just a poor actor. >> who has a lot of sway especially with young people unfortunaty like better not young people take the cue from celebrities. being hip and cool means in favor of the conservationist policies that harrison ford got his chest waxed over but i don't care he owns seven airplanes. i would love to but do not lecture me or the rest of us that we are on the press of this of karmic added while you have a sasquatch sized car ben for prep. that is what i confronted him. >> the press treats actors differently the paparazzi annoy them but reporters to question them. >>. bill: exclusivity the interviews are patty cake
9:08 pm
they will not grow them on substantive policy positions that the actors themselves have taken it is not out of the blue but somebody asked harrison ford is serious question about his own personal car been for a pram. we would have to walk around spraying aerosol cans all day long just to keep up with his carbon footprint. john: you are an independent voting for republicans and democrats but that makes him very unusual.@ overwhelmingly days of four liberal democrats and obama certainly and that led to another pledge. >> to be of service to barack obama. >> i pledged to be of service to our presidents. >> and all mankind. together became and. john: dunne guess we can campaign. my book is titled "no they
9:09 pm
can't." i have a problem they say yes we can meaning individuals but president and obama of the means government and that is a dangerous idea. and you are not allowed to say things like that in hollywood. >> not allowed to disagree with hollywood. it is mind-boggling that things that come out of people's mouths they pushin employers did everything they push for does not have the fact on them. i have called with the big names i say you can afford to be a socialist you are worth $100 billion. john: you said that?

9:11 pm
calling yourself a former? that is the hypocrisy that is frustrating to see why i wrote the book calling of these people on their duplicity. jo: one final example some of the activists are so eager to promote anti- capitalist they glamorize people like bill ears -- bill ayers they killed people and bombed buildings and obama held a fund-raisern bill ayers living room so robert redford came out with a movie based on the weather underground that the terrorists are on the run. >> we'd never be trade any of us all these years. >> i saw an interview with him about this movie he is behind it wanted to% it was

the good thing. what kind of statement is that somebody that was blowing up buildings and hurting hundreds of people? i don't know. it iso screwed up a and sad to see what is going on it is strange to me. john: he invited me to sundance and he did not talk to me when i was there. [laughter] but he was there. there is a sliver of the open debate. >> just a sliver. john: and made me wish somebody would confront robert redford about this gimmick is a deplorable you glamorized the weather underground as a domestic terrorist? will you make a movie about the boston bomber's next? john: he never responded. >> no. his entourage surrounded me and would not let me get up close.
9:13 pm
but this goes beyond hypocrisy it is a human decency factor. it is one thing to make a movie about the weather underground terrorist but another thing to romanticize it to make get a heartfelt. a bank robbery that resulted in the murder of two police officers a and a security guard and now redford will make a movie that is essentially one big tribute? it is remarkably deplorable even by hollywood standards. john: thank you jason and kevin. please go to facebook or twitter to keep the conversation going and u that #hollywood and let people know what you think. people know what you think. more celebrity hy every day we're working to an even better company -

9:20 pm
big houses. reason to be combined his video. >> i pledge to turn the lights off i would leave them on but i will turn them off. >> is the unaware of the hypocrisy? >> i just think he goes out on tour and has a carbon footprint of a third-world nation with the idea that that will make a difference even if you believe in the theory of man caused global warming it seems ludicrous. john: keystone pipeline some actors made a short film that makes it seem like thin the family plays -- buys a new home. >> how beautiful? what is the catch? >> it is near the keystone pipeline.
9:21 pm
we need to leave. it will be okay. it will be okay. john: t this bad science is pushed in video by talented people. >> with you do something in a narrative form or a recognizable actress with a clever theme as you have said that looks like a horror movie and it is very effective. the people that flash the environmental agenda have a tremendous resource with celebrities who are willing to do this kind of video. john: americc's biggest environmental success is tracking for natural gas.

>> i pledged to be of service to barack obama. >> i pledge to be a servant to our president. john: they sure drink the kool-aid. but why do so many loved politicians to push bigger government? they are not all stupid? some are but part of it is always the tendency to support what their peers support and hollywood supports liberalism but why did it becomes a leftist? i have some theories. because so many actors are good-looking men -- maybe the became famous through a lucky audition or a lucky break for good looks so government must intervene to make life more fair. no? how about this. since actors work for others they half to do with those government burden than those
